So in order to make it convenient for the retired emperor to see his little grandchildren at any time, Chu Junze agreed to let him live in a side hall.

After lunch, Chu Junze began to deal with the memorials in his hand. Eunuch Xi walked up to him and said, "Your Majesty, Long Yi is back!"

"Let him in." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chu Junze's eyes.

Soon, Long Yi came before the emperor.

"How's the matter going?" Chu Junze asked hurriedly.

“Your Majesty, I have already dealt with those vampires, but…” Long paused, seeming a little hesitant.

"Just what? Tell me quickly!" Chu Junze frowned slightly.

“It’s just that when I was cleaning up the scene, I found some strange things. Like… the poisonous insects from Southern Xinjiang.” Long Yi lowered his voice and said.

Chu Junze's face changed. "Insect? How could there be an insect? Could it be?"

"It's not clear at the moment. But this matter has far-reaching implications and requires long-term consideration." Long Yida said.

Chu Junze nodded, "You did a good job. Go down first, keep a close eye on this matter, and report any news immediately."

"Yes, I understand."

Chu Junze thought to himself: Who was responsible for the poisonous insect incident? Is there a bigger conspiracy behind it? It seems that either the blood clan and the people of Nanjiang Kingdom are colluding,

Or maybe the Southern Xinjiang Nation has some conspiracy, they really never change their bad habits!"

Long Yi couldn't help but worry when he heard what he said. The leader of the Blood Clan hasn't been caught yet, so what is the Southern Border Country planning to do? !

Before he could continue thinking, Chu Junze asked again: "Where's Yin Yi? Has he come back?"

"Reporting to the emperor, Yin Yi is already waiting outside the palace." Long Yi replied.

"Call him into the palace." Chu Junze put down the memorial in his hand.

After a while, Yin Yi knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"How's the investigation going for me?" Chu Junze asked directly.

"Your Majesty, I have collected all the evidence of Prime Minister Su's corruption and bribery." Yin Yi replied calmly.

Chu Junze nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.

He knew very well that Prime Minister Su had always been attached to the Queen's faction in the court, so if he could be brought down this time, it would also be like cutting off a hand of the Ning family.

It was not enough to just cut off one of their hands, because next he had to cut off all the power of the Ning family in the court.

"Very good, you go down and rest first." Chu Junze waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

After they left, Chu Junze leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and began to think.

Chu Junze frowned, thinking about his next plan.

He knew that if he wanted to completely eradicate the Ning family's influence in the court, he had to be cautious.

He decided to start with Prime Minister Su and use the evidence of his corruption and bribery to bring him to justice while weakening the power of the Queen's side.

In addition, Chu Junze also plans to secretly investigate whether there is any connection between the Ning family, the blood family, and the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.

He vaguely felt that there might be some unknown secrets between these three.

To be on the safe side, he decided to send out his trusted people to conduct further investigation. He had a feeling that he was getting closer to the truth.

Chu Junze called the secret guards around him and whispered, "Send a few more capable people to assist your boss Long Yi.

Also, send more personnel to continue tracking down the unusual movements of the Blood Clan and the Southern Border Country, and report any news immediately."

After the secret guards left, Chu Junze felt a little relieved. He believed that as long as he acted according to the plan, he would be able to uncover the conspiracy behind it.

At the same time, in Fengyi Palace, Queen Ning Wan'er learned that Chu Junze had found out about Prime Minister Su. She was extremely worried and hurriedly summoned her father to discuss countermeasures.

Ning Su comforted her, "Don't worry. Prime Minister Su's crime alone is not enough to shake the Ning family's foundation in the court. The most important thing right now is to find out how much evidence the emperor has, so that we can prepare early."

The queen nodded, but she still felt uneasy.

She knew that Chu Junze would never let them go easily this time.

Just when she was feeling uneasy, Chu Junze had already learned about her previous conversation with Minister Ning from the secret guards.

However, this also let Chu Junze know that his conversation with Long Yi and others was overheard by her people.

It seems that there are still experts around her!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly remembered that there was an underground passage in the palace. Could someone be lurking in the passage under the Qinzheng Palace? !

It shouldn’t be!

Because his father had told him before that only the emperor and the Dragon Scale Guards knew about the underground passage under the palace. Could it be that the expert beside the queen knew about it? !

If this is the case, it seems that the entire palace is not safe!

Thinking of this, Chu Junze said to Eunuch Xi: "Go contact the Dragon Scale Guards and check the underground palace to see if anyone has sneaked in."

"Your Majesty, I will go right away!"

Hearing him say this, Eunuch Xi was shocked and a solemn look appeared on his face.

He was well aware of the existence and significance of the Dragon Scale Guard. This mysterious organization had always been the last line of defense for Zhao State.

They will only show up when the country is in danger of extinction.

And now, the emperor actually asked the Dragon Scale Guards to check the underground palace, that is, the underground passage in the palace. This means that the situation has reached an extremely serious level.

Eunuch Xi couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine, and he realized that this war might be more brutal than they had imagined.

However, as the emperor's confidant, he also understood that he had a heavy responsibility.

Faced with such a crisis, he must remain calm and assist the emperor in making wise decisions.

He took a deep breath, calmed his inner waves, and then quickly walked towards the entrance of the underground palace.

When he finally walked into the entrance of the underground palace, he lit the summoning candle.

Soon, an old man came.

He bowed respectfully to the old man and then relayed the emperor's words.

When he finished relaying, the old man said in a low voice: "Go back and tell the emperor that the Dragon Scale Guards check the underground palace every day, and no one has been able to sneak in successfully so far."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xi bowed respectfully and turned to leave. His steps seemed heavy and firm.

When he returned to the Zichen Palace, he immediately told him what the old man had said.

After hearing what he said, Chu Junze finally felt relieved.

At least the enemies he faces are controllable and dealable, and the palace is still safe.

After nightfall, Chu Junze finished dealing with the memorials in his hands and hurried back to Yaoguang Palace.

At this time, in the Yaoguang Palace, the emperor was happily playing with Sanbao, while Dabao and Erbao were drinking milk, their eyes fixed on Sanbao.

In the afternoon, the emperor was curious about what his little grandchildren drank. It was not until Su Qianqian told him the benefits of milk that he understood why there was no wet nurse here.

And the transparent bottle is called a milk bottle. He spent the entire afternoon trying to understand how his three little grandchildren usually spend their days.

The more you understand, the more magical it seems!

When Chu Junze learned this, he couldn't help but start to worry about his Qianqian. What if her little secret was exposed!
